Hey everyone,

I’ve recently been offered a job working at a small barn. I’d be working with the owners on all horse care/ barn management aspects as well as teaching some lessons and probably traveling to shows. This has pretty much been my dream all along, and I’m so excited about the opportunity but had fully planned on taking a different career path because I didn’t think this would be possible for me. I just wanted to get some neutral opinions on this kind of career/ lifestyle because my horse people are incredibly supportive of the idea, but my family and other friends, not so much.

So for anyone with a similar career… are you generally happy with your life? Do you have any regrets? Any advice for someone going into this? I’d love to hear about your experiences :)

I’ve spent summers working at the barn and have loved it. Even though there have been some extremely challenging moments I’ve always missed it a lot while being off pursuing other things.

Thanks humans
